Super World President? How Elon Musk is meddling in UK and German politics

^{Published on 2025-01-03 13:00:40 - MSN}

Elon Musk has emerged as a disruptive force in global politics, leveraging his social media platform, X, and immense influence to intervene in US, UK, and German affairs. In the US, he shapes far-right narratives and advises Donald Trump's administration.

The article from MSN discusses how Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been increasingly involved in international politics, particularly in the UK and Germany. Musk has publicly criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for not providing enough military support to Ukraine, suggesting that Germany should send more tanks. In the UK, Musk has engaged with political figures like former Prime Minister Liz Truss, who has been vocal about her support for Musk's views on free speech and his management of Twitter (now known as X). His comments and actions have stirred controversy, with some seeing his interventions as meddling in foreign affairs. Musk's influence extends beyond mere commentary; his companies' operations in these countries, like Tesla's factory in Germany, give him a platform to affect policy and public opinion. His involvement has sparked debates about the role of tech moguls in global politics, with critics arguing that his influence might be disproportionate to his official political standing.
